1) To some of us, CBB is the best ever, winning is cool. Of course having three fairly consistently competitive teams in Kansas is pretty special. 1981, when all three were in the Sweet 16, was awesome. It just doesn't get much better.
2) I went to a couple KC Kings games, one in KC and one in Wichita as an exhibition. Wow, both places were almost empty, and I wasn't surprised when the team went to Sacramento.
3) Can't argue with that, all sports have it. Lebron kind of crapped on the fans this year after losing. He is rich, and the fans are poor. That probably didn't endear him with a lot of folks.
